Syaoran: Waii…gomenasai for another kinda slow update, guys…but after my exams was Hari Raya and yes…I am a Malay…so I have to celebrate the occasion! Seriously, I HATE Hari Raya worse than Kikyo in Inuyasha. No offense if there are any Kikyo lovers reading this story.

Lavi: And the Authoress's race is revealed at last. They were bound to know, Shasha-chan, don't be so worried.

Syaoran: But I thought I was able to update fine even if it IS Hari Raya!!

Allen: You…er…thought wrong, then, Miss Syaoran. –pats Syaoran's arm sympathetically-

Syaoran: WAII!! TT3TT Never mind, you R&&Rers understand, don'cha? At least I DO update…not like some feckin' writers who don't even have an apology for their poor readers.

Other DGM characters present: -nod in agreement-

Gozu: Syaoran-san!

Syaoran: Huh? Gozu?? What are YOU doing here???

Gozu: Isn't it obvious by now? To say you don't own D.Gray-Man.

Syaoran: O.o It's getting a bit weird…don't tell me the Earl will come too, eventually!!!

Gozu: Err…I don't know…I guess so?

Syaoran: WAIIIIII!!!!

Lavi looked nervously at Allen. "Ehmmm…Allen…are you sure?"

Allen, with his face all stiff and haughty, nodded. "Yes."

"But…Yuu-chan…" Lavi said a bit helplessly.

"I do not care about the damned 'Yuu-chan'," Allen hissed. "Can we just GET ON with the game already? It's been halfway and you're STILL asking!"

"Well, of course! Even if YOU don't care about him and throwing your hissy fit, I do because I'm his best friend…even if he won't admit it," the Bookman-to-be sighed.

"Will you shut up about Kanda already? I kinda have to agree with Allen-kun on this. Kanda's fine, he's got an amazing healing ability and besides, the twins offered to check on him every few minutes while playing 'Truth or Dare' with us," Rinali interrupted.

Lavi pouted. "Okay, whatever. Blame the guy with the heart, now."

"Oh Lavi…you only want to try and force medicine down Kanda's throat like the last time he ever, ever got sick…" Rinali sighed.

"Huh? Kanda was sick before?? When???" Allen asked, blinking.

"Oh, it was ages ago. When I was about twelve or so, the time I came to the Order," the Chinese girl smiled nostalgically. "As soon as both Kanda and Lavi arrived, Kanda was sick. It was the first, and I thought it was the last time I'd see him sick."

"Well, you were wrong…thanks to a-hem…" Lavi said meaningfully. Rinali smirked when Allen looked from him to her with a puzzled expression.

"Thanks to what?" he asked.

"You'll find out soon," Rinali assured sweetly. 'Soon after you fall hard for Kanda, that is.'

"So anyway, Lavi here somehow or other became practically Kanda's dog, I don't know why, he just always stuck to him so faithfully. And when he found out Kanda was sick, he insisted on being his personal nurse. Last time I walked in on them to see if Kanda'd killed him yet, Lavi was almost choking him to get the medicine down his throat."

Lavi smiled sheepishly while Allen giggled. "Wow…would've loved to see the expression on his face!"

"I saw it, but too bad I didn't get my trusty digicam at that time," Rinali grinned.

"He's still okay!" the twins suddenly ran into the room. "But he's getting a bit restless."

"Restless is fine, so long as he doesn't just leap out and go train in fury like he tried to," Lavi said. "Okay, sit, sit, we've gotta continue the game."

"Whose turn was it to spin?" asked Allen. "Oh—mine."

He leaned forward and spun the bottle.

Yes, the five of them were playing Truth or Dare to pass the time. Since there were currently no missions to carry out (amazingly), the only thing to kill time was to play games.

The bottle landed on Andy. "Um…truth."

"So tell me, Andy," Lavi said. "Is it true you and Yuukan did…stuff…back in that secret room?"

Andy blushed. "Yes," he hissed. "But it's not as hentai as what you've shown us, Uncle Lavi, so cool it already."

"Oh phooey, and I thought I had a chance to prove the Authoress wrong," Lavi pouted. "Whatever."

Andy spun the bottle and it landed onto Allen.

"Why me again?!"

"Accept fate, Allen-kun," Rinali smiled. "What'll it be, boy?"

"Dare…" Allen said a bit hesitantly. "Because I chose Truth so many times."

"Good answer!" Lavi smirked. "Andy?"

Andy looked at his mother carefully, a sadistic smirk playing at his lips. "Um…Uncle Lavi, can I keep this Dare?" he asked.

"K-k-keep it?" Allen stammered.

"Yeah. You said for this game players are allowed to keep their Dares," Andy said to Lavi.

"Well, he's right. The rules this time round do state so," Rinali nodded.

"Yeah, so you can keep your Dare," Lavi said.

"YAY!" Andy cheered. He turned to Yuukan and whispered something excitedly in his ear. Yuukan blinked, then he smirked and high-fived his twin.

"Andy, you're a real genius, ya know that?!" he said.

"Somehow I don't think I'll like this," Allen muttered.

About half an hour later, when the twins had gone back to their father, they suddenly flew back into the room.

"Mama!! Uncle Lavi!! Auntie Rinali!!" they panted.

"What?! What happened?!" Lavi yelled.

"Papa! Severe fever!!" the twins shouted together.

Lavi and Rinali exchanged glances. So doujinshi does come true sometimes, Rinali's eyes were saying with an evil glint.

"I WANNA USE MY DARE NOW!!" Andy yelled.

'Yes!' Rinali and Lavi mentally whooped. They grinned at the twins, who smirked back.

"What'll the Dare be, boys?" Rinali asked, like she asked Allen.

"Mama has to tend to Papa," Andy said slowly and clearly, the sadistic smile on his face widening. "AH! Wait, I'm not done!"

The others waited in anticipation. "In Auntie Rinali's nurse outfit, French maid style!!"

"What?!" Allen yelped.

"Oh my GOD, Andy-chan, I LOVE you!" Rinali squealed, glomping the dark-haired twin. And for once, Andy didn't protest at all.

"You have a nurse outfit?! FRENCH MAID style?!?!" Allen gaped at the Chinese girl.

"Uh-huh. I wore it last year for the Order's Halloween party," Rinali grinned. "It'll fit you just fine, Allen-kun! You're exactly about my size last year! You'll look BEAUTIFUL!"

"No…nonono…you're not serious, are you?!" the cursed teen said in doom.

"We are deadly serious, Moyashi-chan…" Lavi said, his eyes going wide and his maniacal grin nearly tumbling off his face.

'I am going to die.'

Kanda, in his bed, was moving restlessly.

Ever since the fever had suddenly swept upon him with a vengeance and without any warning whatsoever, not only was he even more eager to get out of the room, but he felt extremely, extremely…

HOT.

Well, sad to say for the readers, not hot as in the dirty hot. He was literally on fire.

When the twins had come in, they took one look at him, glanced at each other and fled.

'Do I look scary?'

Kanda knew that Lavi would be pouncing in and he'd go through with his threat of handcuffing him to the headboard of the bed if he were to get out of the room, since he and Rinali already confiscated his Mugen. Though HOW they did that before he'd gotten his hands on them, he wasn't sure.

So he had to stay there.

And wait.

Because for sure someone would come in and try to force medicine down his throat again. And since he felt even more weak now, he probably wouldn't have the strength to punch the person senseless.

What the FUCK happened to his amazing healing ability?!

Just as Kanda thought he was going to explode and scream at the top of his lungs, there was a soft, almost hesitant knock at the door.

Kanda blinked. No one ever knocked his door like that. Not even Rinali, supposedly the most gentle in the Order. 'Pfft. If she's gentle, I'd've already made doomsday come.'

The door slowly opened.

Kanda tried to look at the person in the doorway, but the beads of perspiration building up on his forehead chose that moment to slide down into his eyes, momentarily blurring his vision.

"Fuck…" he cursed angrily, reaching up and rubbing at his eyes furiously.

"Don't curse."

Kanda blinked again and he looked over. And his jaw dropped.

Standing in the doorway was Allen Walker. The exact reason why he was this ill now—because he'd been so busy thinking of the cursed teen.

In a nurse's outfit.

It was familiar to Kanda, even as he stared at Allen as if he'd just spotted the most miraculous thing to ever occur in the world. 'Rinali's Halloween costume last year…'

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Perhaps it was needless to say that Allen looked oh so enticingly dainty in the very, very, very feminine outfit. Though it suited him oh so well.

Allen looked nervous, almost embarrassed as he slowly entered the room and approached Kanda's bed. The stunned samurai could only stare. And stare. And stare.

"Are you feeling better?" Allen asked softly, leaning forward to touch Kanda's forehead.

At his touch, it was as if a searing heat had been pressed against his skin. Kanda recoiled almost instantly, wincing. Allen blinked, worry deep in his grey eyes.

"Okay, maybe it's a no," he said, still in a very soft voice. It killed Kanda to hear it.

"Why are you…" he rasped. "…wearing this?!"

Allen looked startled. A blush spread over his cheeks, the redness that nearly made Kanda go crazy.

"Don't ask. I'm going to have to tend to you for today," he said gently.

"Why are you speaking so softly?" Kanda hissed. "It's…it's unbearable."

"I can't raise my voice," Allen murmured. "If I do…huh, I don't know what'll happen to me."

'You also don't know what'll happen to you if you maintain that tone…do you know just how seductive you sound?! Even if you don't fucking know it!!'

Kanda bit his lip. Where did that come from?

"Open your mouth," Allen instructed, holding out a thermometer. Kanda, already so dazed, did as he was told and his 'nurse' inserted it. Kanda's dark eyes continued watching Allen, in half wariness and half…wonder.

Allen felt a bit uncomfortable at the samurai's intense gaze. 'I know I look like a damn drag queen, you don't have to stare at me like that!' he felt like shouting. But he couldn't. Lavi and Rinali would TORTURE him if he raised his voice.

The thermometer made a little sound and Allen hastened to check it. Oh God. It was a seriously high fever.

"What did you do, Kanda?" he whispered as he searched for the medicine inside the box he'd brought with him.

"H-huh?" Kanda asked in a strange, very un-Kanda-ish voice. As if he'd lost all his memories.

"On the mission," Allen elaborated. "Why did you get yourself in such a situation? What were you thinking of, for God's sake?"

Kanda's eyes glinted at his last question. He narrowed them and struggled slightly to sit up. Allen drew back a tiny bit, a bit wary of this suddenly energetic samurai.

"Do you want to know who I was thinking of?" Kanda whispered harshly.

"Um…" Allen blinked nervously. It was a who, not a what? He was a bit afraid of what Kanda's next move was, but hell, he wasn't afraid of him. So he decided to take the risk. "Yes, I do want to know."

"Are you sure?" Kanda leaned forward slowly.

"Y-yes," Allen nodded. Since when was Kanda's face so close??

"It was…" Kanda whispered. Allen swallowed slightly. Shit, his lips were just inches from his.

It was when their noses were practically touching did Kanda reveal the last word. "You."

"Me…?" Allen murmured, already dazed by the close proximity.

Kanda smirked. "Who else, Moyashi?"

And he kissed him.

Outside the room, the four scheming matchmakers were silently whooping their heads off. And Rinali was busy snapping photographs.

"I love the world today…" she sighed happily.

Syaoran: So do I! I love the world! –laughs deliriously- Please oh mighty R&&Rers, please let this chapter of insane fluffiness sustain your addiction to the story for the time being.

Allen: -blushing really REALLY hard-

Lavi: YOU ENJOYED IT YOU ENJOYED IT YOU DID YOU DID ENJOY IT!!

Kanda: -blushing also, points Mugen at Lavi-

Lavi: Eeek! Okay, okay, I'll shut up now.

Twins: MAMA AND PAPA DID IT!!!!! YAAAAAY!!!!
